All of a sudden BitDefender has been preventing Malwarebyte's manually updating. Malwarebyte's support gave me the following advice, but I still can not get it to update properly. I know BitDefender is causing this issue because if I disable it, I can update MBAM with no problems. Anyone know any other solution?
